New Attempt to Agree on Treaty Reservations
Washington April 27 another attempt to agree on reservations to the peace treaty appeared possible in the Senate following the election of Oscar W Underwood of Alabama as Democratic leader. Mild reservationist Republicans believe Underwood will be less unyielding than Hitchcock and that reservations can win two thirds. Underwood has said he favors reservations and 136 will be accepted by the necessary number of Senators. Mild reservationists seek ratification hoping senators can agree among themselves on reservations to induce President Wilson to send the treaty back to the Senate.
